Formscan - The Twiston-Davies team enjoyed plenty of success in the El Rincon colours last term and they could have another smart novice on their hands in the shape of UN SENS A LA VIE. An impressive winner on his hurdles bow at Market Rasen, he is likely to have plenty more to come and is narrowly preferred to Fortune De Mer, a Listed bumper winner here who is bound to improve for his placed effort at Uttoxeter. Four from six in this sphere and not beaten far on his return at Market Rasen, Sir Galahad completes the shortlist with Irish raider Jackson Lamb.
